I'm as pro-gun rights as it gets - but they are for sporting purposes, sustenance, protection in extreme danger, and a preserver of liberty, not really anything else I can think of. They are not to tote around to tell people not to mess with you, or to brandish upon or shoot a guy who did something bad but is not a life threatening danger to others.
Some basic common sense should tell one that they don't need to display a gun at a card show and it will accomplish nothing but making people panic. Legality of different jurisdictions aside, when I am in a rural small town in a free state, I have often open carried because of the context - nobody cares at all or panics or is worried and no stir is caused because it's outside my shirt instead of under it. At a card show, obviously you are going to cause a scene to nobodies benefit. Common sense, ya know?
